 DETROIT, Dec. 12.-The neighborhood of Sand Creek, down the Grand river, near Lamont, is agitated over the elopement of a pretty school ma'am with negro, as black as trump spade. Miss Jennie Smith, the daughter of neighboring farmer in well to do circumstances, is the Juliet of the story, and the sable Romeo is farm laborer and threshing machine operator of burly and belligerent propensities, named Alex McGee. Miss Jennie is a tall, slender blonde of 9 summers Although she had no lack of admirers, she turned deaf ear to all their protestations of love, and seemingly went about her work like a level headed girl. Last spring, however, the villagers were shocked to learn that Miss Jennie and Alex had liking for one another, and when Jennie's friends expostulated with her she became very angry and informed them that they could mind their own business.
 The negro vent out 10 Dakota in the early part of last summer, and the indignation of the neighborhood gradually subsided. Jennie kept her place as scaoolma'am, and also kept up a correspondence with her black sweet heart Last week Miss Smith packed up her dry goods, bric- a-brac, etc, and suddenly dis appeared. She left note at home saying she had gone to Dakota to join Alex. Sub sequently it was learned that the foolish girl was met at St. Paul by her black lover, and that they have been married, and have set tied down in the land of blizzards and wheat.
